Hey Jody,

Are you sure that is the right WKT? I thought the whole point of the
google projection was that it was working on a sphere so would have no
inverse flattening. The part of the WKT I find surprising is:

SPHEROID["WGS 84", 6378137.0, 298.257223563, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],

with its 298.crumbs parameter. I would have thought this would be
explicitly *not* WGS84 but some google sphere. Indeed, your WKT is
identical to EPSG:3395 which is world mercator projection of WGS84.

Also, as I understood things, Martin has not yet upgraded to the newest
EPSG database to the version with the formal google code in it. At
least, that's what he said yesterday. I'll try to catch him again after
lunch to confirm. So, like Andrea, I wonder if you are not using your
locally souped up JARs rather than what is distributed.

Note I recently added a section "how to add a CRS" at the bottom of the
Referencing FAQ:
  http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/11+Referencing+FAQ
for those who are interested.
